Description

This eggless vanilla cake is soft, moist, and gently sweet with a clean vanilla aroma. It is made using simple pantry staples and a straightforward mixing method that delivers a fluffy crumb without eggs. The cake works perfectly as a snack cake, a dessert base, or a simple everyday bake that stays tender for days.

Ingredients

All purpose flour sifted for a lighter texture

Baking powder for proper rise

Salt to balance sweetness

Granular baking sugar alternative suitable for oven use

Simply Organic Vanilla Flavor or Watkins Clear Vanilla Flavor

Butter melted and slightly cooled

Milk divided for controlled mixing

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to the correct temperature and prepare the baking pan with butter or a nonstick lining

2. Sift the flour baking powder salt and sugar alternative together in a large mixing bowl and form a well in the center

3. Whisk the melted butter vanilla flavor and half of the milk in a separate bowl until smooth

4. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently whisk until a thick batter forms

5. Scrape the bowl and slowly whisk in the remaining milk until the batter is smooth with small lumps

6. Transfer the batter to the prepared pan and tap gently on the counter to release air bubbles

7. Bake until the top is lightly golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean

Avoid overmixing to keep the cake soft and tender

Room temperature milk blends more smoothly with the batter

Let the cake cool before cutting to prevent crumbling
